7 great personal Development tips you should know about.

Personaldevelopment is a set of actions you take to make yourself a better person. It isn’t basically about the outward appearance, it encompasses your overall personality both inwards and outwards. It involves physical & mental wellbeing, lifestyles, your identity, modesty, thought- processes, sociability, etc. It is a continuous conscious effort.

Personaldevelopmentcanhelponesetbettergoalsandreachtheirfullpotential. It transforms you into someone better to face the challenges, complexities and competitions we face daily in life.

At some certain point in life, whether at 16, 26, 30, 45, 72, what ever age, there would be a self-reflection and craving to become more self aware. To be connected to our inner self, to be and keep yourself happy, do good things, to listen to our intuition and the direction of our soul.

We all want to improve ourselves and our outlook towards life. On this journey to a better self, we have to be willing to take the steps to change ourselves. As usual, I’m going to share 7Greatpersonaldevelopmenttipsweshouldknowabout.

• Beapatientlistener & keepanopenmind: Don’t always be keen on being heard alone during communication. Pay attention and listen to others too. Your mental presence matters. Listen to understand, not to judge & be willing to change your view or theirs when presented with a fact. Keeping an open mind will enable you live a much more interesting & simple life without having to always pass judgement & being too critical. Listening will enable ask questions and understand better.

• Beagoodlearner: Have the zeal to learn new things. Learn from your past mistakes, learn from others too. Always seek to improve yourself. You never stop growing in knowledge.

• Beoptimistic: We often become what we daily think about. Our thoughts soon become words we say and those words become things because we begin to take actions on them. If for anything, you should say good things to/about yourself. Being optimistic boosts your confidence.

• Focusonyourgoodparts and work on the parts you need to improve on. Spend more time getting better on what you’re good at than struggling to improve your weaknesses. That’s not to say you shouldn’t quit any bad habits, in fact you should. But while at it, spend more time on those things you’re good at and improve on them. Sooner or later, you wouldn’t have time for the bad habits.

• Replaceperfectionism; just do the right thing: We often get frustrated and quit on ourselves because we want to be perfect. If you know the right things, do them the best way you can. Learn to take charge on the things you have control over including your environment. In trying to appear perfect, we often become more desperate, anxious & even aggrevious.

• Takeactions/makechanges: I always wonder why action is resisted when it’s needed most. But now I know…Procrastination. Putting off things that needs to get done, making it harder and scarier. Nothing is as scary and stressful as a lingering task. Start taking actions and making the necessary changes now.

• Loveyourself: Love and happiness comes from within. You can’t love nor appreciate love if you don’t love your own self. You are also responsible for your own happiness. Embrace yourself. Don’t be too critical of yourself and don’t let anything negative come in the way of your positivity and enthusiasm to have a better life. The life is yours to Love and live.

Great list. Listening is a quality I really appreciate. When I come across someone who actually listens (instead of trying to talk over you constantly), it’s always a much more pleasant conversation and makes me want to return the favour and not like I’m competing to get my views heard.

I definitely need to work on being a perfect listener and getting rid of my perfectionism! It’s so hard. As for the others, I do them most of the time, but there’s always room for improvement of course!

Desire, I can totally relate on perfectionism gush! But now I’ve learnt to do things the best way possible that I can bcos life cannot be all perfect & bcos we’re not God.

Hi Jessica,
Your tips are good ones. However, I once was brave enough to make a change but it was the wrong one. Sometimes change for change’s sake is not good.

Keeping an open mind is such a fantastic piece of advice. I always try to remind myself that I am acting of first impressions (which are mostly never right!) so thank you for giving me this reminder… If more people had an open mind we would live in a nicer world 💚
